Operation Gratitude
Last night while watching tv, I saw a commercial for Operation Gratitude — so I pulled up their site to see how I could help. Right now they’re in need of letter writers, hand-made cool-ties /scarves, Beanie Babies and financial donations to pay for postage. If you can help, click here for details! (for those not...

Because I can …
Today I’m in denial. Twenty years ago today — at 8:58 pm — my life forever changed. I went from being an only child to becoming an older sister to a twerky — I mean, little brother on my eighth Thanksgiving. Thus the twerky reference (twirp + turkey combined).
